Drain Installation (Recommended)
Although this fireplace is designed to operate outdoors safely, rain and other sources of moisture may
enter the fireplace area, which will cause water to collect inside the base of the unit within the fireplace
enclosure. When choosing a location for your fireplace, care must be taken to avoid areas where excessive
moisture or running water may be a problem.
To prevent moisture or water from collecting underneath the fireplace, the builder must provide a means
to drain water from under the fireplace, before positioning the fireplace in its location. It is recommended
that a sealed corrosion resistant drain pan with provisions for drainage be positioned underneath
the fireplace. The drain pan can be constructed from corrosion resistant metal, or other suitable
materials such as an ice and water shield membrane. A means of drainage out of the drain pan such as
piping or weep holes must also be provided. A slope of 1/4” (6mm) per foot towards the drain port is
recommended.
Note: When planning for the installation of the fireplace the framing height must be increased to
accommodate a drain pan and any additional drainage piping required.
Note: The fireplace must be installed on a level surface to ensure proper drainage.
